Decent card. Porter and Charlo should record routine wins I think.

Yea not a terrible card. Both seem like straightforward fights to call but should have their moments. If Berto has still clung to a somewhat improved form from that bad stretch, he should at least hit Porter with what always was a nasty uppercut, and the way Porter bullrushes in, who knows. Hatley looked pretty good and an awkward switch hitter who can dig against Mundine, I don't know much else about him really. Odd that he hasn't fought since then, that definitely can't help him. Still, weekend with no other big fights on, I'll take it.

Yeah I read he had come of (knee) surgery 2 months prior to his 1st loss. He said he should have never fought as the Dr told him to stay off for a year. Who knows how much weight that really holds? He did look alright against Mundine and has an extended amateur background. I think he has been sitting on his mandatory hence the layoff. Also heard he had signed with King, King got him the title shot and now he is suing King. That's an odd one.

The purses for this fight are insane. Berto is making 1.2 million while Porter is making 1 million. First off, how is berto making more than Porter? Second, how is berto making so much? He was never that good and has been past his best for some years now. He deserves maybe 100k. Why would HBO pay him that much?

That is crazy. I've said before that Berto must have some dirt on some of the higher ups.

Pretty easy fight for Porter imo.
